The Tourism Minister said on Tuesday evening that it has terminated Konrad Mizzi’s €80,000 MTA consultancy contract.
The contract was awarded to Mizzi in December last year just two weeks after the same Mizzi resigned from his role of Tourism Minister amidst the political scandal brought about by the arrest of Yorgen Fenech in connection with the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
On Tuesday morning, the government said it was seeking legal advice on the job Mizzi was given.
Tourism Minister Julia Farrugia Portelli told journalists, later in the day, that a decision would be taken “in the coming hours.”
In a statement on Tuesday evening, the government said the Tourism Minister had, after receiving legal advice, instructed the MTA to cancel the contract “with immediate effect.”
The ministry added that Mizzi has not been paid anything in connection with the contract.
